Our Little Artist

Today was a lot of fun. Ethan enjoyed playing indoors, had all his naps, ate all his meals while mouthing "mmmm," and then we painted. He has painted with finger paint before and had a little traumatic experience. You know, the paint couldn't get off his fingers fast enough. But this time I bought him watercolors and a watercolor book. I tore out a picture of some animals (he is learning all their names) and gave him a paint brush. I showed him how it worked and I asked him what color he wanted and he told me "blue." Pretty soon he had paint on his fingers and saying, "blue." Before I knew it he had it on his face, lips, and hair!
